2005 unexplained high pitched squeak
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2016 4:59 am
In Feb of this year i had a rattle from then belt area of the engine . I norrowed it down to the belt tensioner or at least i thought so. Replaced the belt tensioner and still had it. Noticed the fan clutch was to blame. Replaced the fan clutch and belt. the high pitch squeak has shown up. I immediately thought the fan clutch was the blame since it was an aftermarket. I replaced it yet again with a Barns and Ackley clutch. This one still has a squeak to it. But during the summer it was completely gone. Now the cooler temp's are back the squeak is as well. And the truck sounds like a jet engine roar from the fan area . THE squeak is only audible during accelerating. Anyone else has this sort of issue. I also replaced the idler pulley.
